Innovative notebook data protection software being used to protect laptops after UK plane threats.
(PRWEB) August 16 2006 -- DeadMan’s Handle, the innovative concept in notebook security, is being recommended for use after the recent terrorist incidents in the UK.
This advanced software protects sensitive notebook information when it is lost or stolen. It does so by invisibly erasing it, providing an additional layer of security that complements technologies now in use. The system not only protects company data, but also system access and network settings. The removal of these settings greatly reduces the possibility of attacks by criminals.
With laptops now going into unlocked hold baggage in planes it has become essential for mobile security to be improved. As Director John Brazier says, “DeadMan’s Handle gives companies even greater security for their laptops in these uncertain times. The software can protect all aspects of confidential information and system data on their machines.”
Security consultants are now using the system to enhance the protection on their notebooks. Providing security in depth, it helps reduce the risks now presented by traveling with laptops.
DeadMan’s Handle is available for download and user licenses can be obtained via www.deadmanshandle.com
DeadMan’s Handle has been awarded the quality label ‘Nominee for the European IST Prize’. The system was evaluated by independent experts from 16 European countries, nominated by Euro-CASE and agreed by the European Commission.
This recognition of excellence follows on from DeadMan’s Handle winning a coveted place in the UKT&I Best of British Technology Showcase at CeBIT 2005 in Hannover and a ‘What Laptop and Handheld PC’ magazine 9/10 rating and Editor’s Choice in 2005.
